Oops...

Well, I am sitting in the main building of DIS waiting for a phone call from my Service Learning professor. We have a field study today... and it started an hour ago. Unfortunately I thought it started thirty minutes ago so I showed up half an hour late and my class had already left. Yikes! I calmly approached the front desk and we figured out a way for me to reach my professor. The class was already at the first site that we are supposed to visit, so I am now waiting for a call from her to say that I should leave to meet them at the train station to go to the second place.

The whole afternoon sounds really awesome... we are going to several students' service learning placements to learn about them and what type of volunteer work is done there. I'm pretty bummed that I missed the first one, but what can I do? It's not ideal, but thank goodness for cell phones! Now I will be able to meet up with them in about 30 minutes. I brought a camera so I will see about taking a few photos to give you a sense of volunteer work in Denmark.

While I wait I will give a brief update. The past few days have been quite packed with academic work. I had a giant paper due on the same day as I had an exam (Tuesday), and had a lot of other smaller assignments (Danish, Developmental disorders, etc).

To get some of it done, on Sunday I biked to the Glostrup library (which I didn't know existed until Lars said something about it). Their library system is amazing because the building is open on Sundays even though there are no staff people there. You swipe your social securty-type card and just walk in. You are allowed to be there until 10pm. It goes along with the Danish sense of trust among citizens. How cool!

Luckily it's now Wednesday, which means that I'm way more than half-way done with work due this week. However I am trying desperately to get some other major assignments done now since Saturday our first travel break begins and I will be moving non-stop until we go back to classes (so I won't have much time to get work done). I'm working on a diagnostic case study (WHICH IS SO MUCH FUN!) and outlining a paper for positive psych. I've been pouring over the DSM (the bible of psychiatric diagnostics), which makes me feel like a real professional! ;)

Okay, just got the call from Bianca (and she doesn't sound too angry). But I am going to book it to get to the station before they do! I'll probably update again tomorrow with some funny stories from Danish and Developmental (and maybe some pictures from our field study).

Vi ses!
